I needed a way for a user to set fontName and fontSize preferences

StandardAdditions osax? So I looked ... it's not there!
Standard Editions can create plain text files (including tab
delimited, lists, records, etc.), but not styled text. If you need
to script name and size, you'll have to do it through an
application. TextEdit is a good one for this purpose.
No. All I need is a way to get a properly spelled name of a font and
a size. Then I use this to set a document window in Smile or Script
Editor. My current workaround is to let the user type the name of a
font. Script Editor has a fatal problem if the font is not spelled
correctly. (Smile simply punts and uses Lucida Grande!)
